Solana Mobile Company announced on X that the first crypto-smartphone, Saga, has entered the sale phase. The device is designed to run decentralized applications built on the Solana blockchain and will be available for consumers in the United States and Canada. The launch marks a step toward combining mobile tech with on‑chain finance, giving users a portable way to engage with digital assets securely from their pocket. To confirm a transaction, users simply place a finger on the back-mounted fingerprint sensor, providing a quick and secure authentication method that minimizes the friction of crypto trading on a phone.
The Saga phone sports a flat 6.67-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth visuals for apps, wallets, and games. Its camera array features a 50-megapixel main sensor and a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens, complemented by a 16-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls. The device runs Android 13, ensuring compatibility with a wide ecosystem of apps and services while maintaining a native focus on blockchain-powered experiences.
Constructed with premium materials, Saga showcases a ceramic back panel, a stainless steel bezel, and titanium inserts to emphasize durability and a premium feel. This blend of materials communicates a handset built for daily use and long-term reliability within the demanding crypto and mobile ecosystems.
Pre-orders are open with a $100 deposit, and the full retail price is set at $1,000. This pricing positions Saga as a flagship option for early adopters who want integrated on-device crypto capabilities without sacrificing modern smartphone performance.
Earlier reports noted additional mobile innovations in the space, including the emergence of ultra-budget devices focused on essential features and affordable entry points for crypto enthusiasts. While those devices emphasize value, Saga aims to balance high-end construction with secure on‑device crypto functionality for a Canadian and American audience.
